Trump has ordered the installation of large posters of himself in Washington DC after directing soldiers to patrol it.
If there's anyone in your life who still doubts that Trump is a fascist, please show them this photo.

The number of people out there who seem completely oblivious to history just staggers me. (Especially since many of them claim proudly to be students of history.)

in reply to Matthew Sheffield • • •@darkuncle I guess a lot of people search for the meaning of life. The risk with being in ideological blunt mode while doing so, is dangerous, in my view.
We need to try to be the true versions of our selfs, i believe. If people are ideologically asleep, or afraid to share their views, it might be difficult to have meaningful conversations, dialogues that helps us in finding truth through social context.
But life should not be too easy. We need to try, sincerity.

So, they have already started the newspeak, thought-police has taken over unis and education, so the dumbest big brother is finally unveiled.
I hope all those red/blue pill swallowers are happy.
For 30 years, I have said that this was the end goal of Newt Gingrich's 90s congress and they did a lot to help achieve this moment.

But, sadly, these posters are a very well-documented phenomenon. Here's an earlier article about Trumpers putting his photo up on other posters

I don't know about anybody else, but what I see is "Giant Trump" and "Giant First", which I'd instantly read as "Trump First".
It's certainly the message he's been sending since the inauguration. And it's likely the *only* message he's been consistent with.

in reply to Matthew Sheffield • • •This is what they all want. I show this to them and they're going to laugh at me and ask if I'm going to cry.
Then I'll want to kill them because yes, I'm going to cry and I'll feel that betrayed and powerless but they'll be right there in front of me.
So I'm just not going to talk to anyone like that.

Unknown parent • • •@DarthAstrius @gimulnautti You should study Maoโs campaigns more. Especially the Cultural Revolution has many similarities to what Trump has been doing. Mao is actually the person Iโve used the most to build a framework for understanding Trump.
Trump has worked more top-down rather than Maoโs bottom-up (which he did because he had lost the formal power), but the systematic expulsion of competent people is very similar.
